Boom—
Extremely terrifying fluctuations suddenly appeared within the origin of the Alien Ancient Universe.
Suddenly, Ye Chen, Tai Sheng Huang, and the others' pupils contracted sharply. They saw that at the origin of the Alien Ancient Universe, the faint, illusory shadow of a chaos ancient universe appeared—precisely the previously devoured Tianjue Ancient Universe. It abruptly transformed into a vast, majestic power, then condensed to an extreme point: a singularity.
The singularity collapsed violently, giving birth to a deep, boundless, massive black hole. The power of this black hole was so immense that it directly distorted the River of Time and space, its destination unknown.
At this moment, they suddenly understood. The devoured Tianjue Ancient Universe, though indeed consumed by the Alien Ancient Universe, had also been transformed. It had become this terrifying black hole, piercing through the ages.
Recalling the sigh of the chaotic figure standing in the River of Time earlier, Ye Chen's expression grew heavy. He felt that the other party's reversal of time to arrive in this era definitely carried a purpose to influence both past and present.
Not understanding the truth, he was uneasy. He looked at Duan Mie and asked, "Who is he?"
Duan Mie remained coldly silent, offering no answer.
In fact, even the several alien Half-Step Overlords did not know who that person truly was. They only knew that since it was an order personally given by Shidai, they would obey.
"Who are you?" Ye Chen asked again.
He had a feeling that this person was inevitably connected to him.
The chaotic figure standing in the River of Time looked at him and said, "I know you think I am you, but I am not you."
Not me?
Was it Ye Junlin?
Ye Chen looked at Ye Junlin, but Ye Junlin was also bewildered. Moreover, as the other party did not speak further, there was no way to judge.
The Battle Saint Ancestor, the Heaven-Defying War Lord, Tai Sheng Huang, and the other Half-Step Overlords wore grave expressions. Having witnessed this chaotic figure standing in the River of Time, they could not deduce his true identity. Coming from the Blood-Stained Future, he was naturally shielded from all heavenly secrets. Moreover, he was incomparably powerful, at least at the Half-Step Overlord level.
His appearance was merely for ordinary communication and did not involve any ancient, great secrets, so it was not yet a problem.
"Let me deduce who he is."
The Time-Space Great Emperor spoke. He was the highest achiever in the Dao of Time and Space throughout the ages; even a peerless Overlord could not surpass him in this regard. Now, he actively stepped onto the River of Time. The Time-Space Emperor Dao operated, and behind him appeared the illusory shadow of the World Ancestral Tree that could cover all heavens. A single leaf could cradle a galaxy, illustrating its immense, boundless scale.
Terrifying Time-Space power erupted as the Time-Space Great Emperor performed his deduction.
But that chaotic figure shook his head and said, "Don't try. It's impossible to succeed."
Pfft—
The Time-Space Great Emperor coughed up blood. Powerful as he was, master of time and space as he was, he still suffered a terrible backlash. He looked deeply at the chaotic figure and this time remained silent.
"It brings me joy to witness this flourishing era where all races stand side by side, with the various chaos ancient universes still intact. The purpose of my return is to be able to trace your trail." The chaotic figure sighed softly, as if speaking to Shidai, and also as if speaking to Ye Chen. He did not specify to whom he spoke. He arrived before the black hole, whose terrifying nature made even him feel palpitations.
Yet, the chaotic figure, holding an Emperor Sword in hand, stepped into the black hole and gradually vanished. In the end, only a single voice remained: "The future can be changed!"
All sides across the Chaos Sea changed expressions. What did this statement mean?
Could the Blood-Stained Future be reversed and altered?
Ye Chen's expression was heavy as he stared in the direction where the chaotic figure disappeared. Suddenly, he said, "Senior Time-Space Great Emperor, is there a way for me to pursue that person?"
The Time-Space Great Emperor was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "Although that person comes from the Blood-Stained Future, now, everything about the Blood-Stained Future cannot be deduced. Moreover, a forbidden existence once severed the karma of the Blood-Stained Future, even cutting off the related timelines. It is impossible to deduce."
The Blood-Stained Future was becoming increasingly impossible to deduce.
Many years ago, various major powers could still deduce it; even Supreme Beings could gaze distantly upon the Blood-Stained Future and catch a glimpse or two. But now, it was as if it had been shielded; they simply could not see any of it.
No one knew what exactly had happened in the Blood-Stained Future. They only knew everything seemed undeducable.
However, Shidai had gone to such great lengths, even devouring the Tianjue Ancient Universe to evolve this mysterious black hole and allow that chaotic figure standing in the River of Time to enter. Where exactly was the final destination?
Unfortunately, the black hole had been personally shielded by Shidai; it was impossible to perceive anything within.
"Shidai!"
Suddenly, a voice emanated from the deepest depths of the Primordial Immortal Realm—from the unfathomable depths of the Forty-Nine Immortal Pass secret realm.
Faintly discernible, an ancient, stern, and inviolable immortal figure appeared, illuminating all heavens of the Immortal World. All beings of the Immortal World, including accomplished True Immortals, Quasi-Immortal Kings, Immortal Kings, and Immortal Venerables, had to bow in worship. Ten thousand immortals revered him together.
The Immortal Ancestor!
The beings of the Immortal World were stirred. The legendary Immortal Ancestor, the supreme progenitor who founded the immortal cultivation system, indeed still existed in the world.
Across the Chaos Sea, all sides were shaken. Besides Shidai and the Heavenly Emperor, the third strongest Overlord had finally been roused and appeared.
Shidai looked at the Immortal Ancestor and said, "Long time no see."
"Yes, it has been a long time. But Shidai, you are too cruel, going so far as to sacrifice the Tianjue Ancient Universe." The Immortal Ancestor said, "Do you truly intend to make an enemy of the entire Chaos Sea?"
As these words fell, the entire Chaos Sea fell silent. Everyone looked toward the Alien Ancient Universe, and even more so toward Shidai, who loomed over the universe's origin.
Was Shidai really going to make an enemy of the entire Chaos Sea?
"This is getting interesting."
Within the Eternal Heaven Realm, the Ancient Demon Lord smiled, witnessing all this. He too wanted to know if Shidai, invincible throughout the ages, dared to oppose the entire Chaos Sea.
However, he believed that even someone as powerful as Shidai would not dare.
Shidai said, "Does the Primordial Immortal Realm wish to make an enemy of my realm's Ancient Universe?"
The Immortal Ancestor said, "If the Alien Ancient Universe remains obstinate and unrepentant, war is inevitable."
"Is that so?" Shidai smiled. "I didn't expect you to say the same. It seems you have already made a decision."
"That's right," the Immortal Ancestor said.
"In that case," Shidai suddenly laughed, "then let's sink the entire Chaos Sea in battle!"
The whole world was shocked. Was Shidai, with the Alien Ancient Universe, declaring war on the entire Chaos Sea?
Was he mad?
Shidai said, "Fellow Daoist, make your move!"
Boom—
Suddenly, the Primordial Immortal Realm shook violently. A section of the universe's boundary wall was torn open. The Immortal King Passes guarding the northern borderlands exploded one after another. Immortal Kings were shattered to dust, and the countless powerful immortals of the Immortal King Passes perished, body and soul. Blood stained the heavens of the Immortal World, a scene of utter misery.
They saw an immense, boundless world descend, comparable in scale to the Upper Realm. Multiple supreme giants appeared, leading an endless army that charged into the Primordial Immortal Realm.
All sides of the Primordial Immortal Realm changed expressions: "The Origin Saint Race?"
